AZhiker-Thank you so much for all the help. I actually have that packet, I guess I just need to read it a little more! So don't apply until all pre-reqs are done. Got it. Thanks again!! Paula

Can anyone walk me through the process of applying for the program? I contacted the woman I was suppossed to Maria, but she never responded. I was accepted into the school but have no idea how to apply for the nur program. Thanks!

i'm taking bio 132 in the summer and also psych. :monkeydance: i should be studying for my muscle exam right now but wanted to take a little break! :monkeydance:

Kathy-That is horrible but I believe it. OCC is really annoying me with their "selection" process. Koolaid is right, failing the NLN would have been better! So annoying! :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire

koolaid-i totally agree with you. the process for the student selection seems horrible! i know people who did worse then me on the nln and got into the program??? why is that!!? as far as the high risk students..i had no idea they set aside that many spots. that's horrible. shouldn't someone like me who is on the waiting list and passed the nln get in? it is very frustrating i agree with you! best of luck on your letter! fingers crossed for some good news!!! let us know! just wanted to add that i think that is a good nln score and you shouldn't worry!

:balloons: congrats dex. that's great news! :balloons: i didn't get in, i am wait-listed at number 10. i did above average on the nln and my gpa is fine, i guess there was something else they wanted that i didn't have! :angryfire good luck to all waiting to hear! z-see you in class tomorrow!

Thank you so much for the info! Best of luck to you.

Does anyone know what the wait list is like at this school? Thanks!

you are not the only one. i started noticing it recently too! although, mine isn't really between by thighs, well maybe my lower thighs, it's kinda right around my knees, or a little higher. i know my scrub pants are too long for me and i'm always hiking them up but i'm not sure if that's the problem. if you do a search i find about 2 other topics where people discuss the chafing. i think it's mainly the material. i would love some nice pure cotton scrubs and not these damn poly/cotton blends! i just put some lotion(normal dry skin lotion) on when i get home and it'll sting for a couple minutes but then it feels better. it is annoying though! :angryfire

i hated the nln and thought i bombed but when i went to have my scores looked at by the nursing dept they said, great you "cut the mustard" :rotfl: thought that was pretty funny!! but i guess you just look under your ad score under verbal at the right of the paper? they didn't even look at math or science. i got in the 80s so i'll take it! my pharmacology class is killing me!! i have no idea what is going on!

does anyone know of a good website for bones? possibly even one that has some good flashcards? i'm doing the coloring book but always love a good flashcard!:chuckle :) thanks! nevermind, i just went to the first page of the thread and found some great resources. thanks to whoever put all that work in. you are great!!

i love using flashcards. the whole point is that is forces you to sit down, read the information and then write it down. by all those steps are done, i've usually ingested some of the info i need. plus, they're so small that i bring them everywhere and study. waiting in line, study. waiting at lunch, study..waiting in doctor's office, study. it works for me. then again,we'll see how my first test score is! :chuckle

i find the stuff we are doing now to be so boring and difficult! atp, epithelium, diffussion. i have my lab test next friday and am so scared. identifying the different epitheliums and what their functions are and where they're found? it's too much!! gotta go study! congrats to all who like they're class. right now, i just find it stressful!

we're still on epithelium in lab and on diffusion and stuff in lecture. off to make flashcards! have i mentioned i'm scared? :)

thanks. i went to the offices today and they said i past, scores look great. so, now the wait is on to see if i get in!:uhoh21: thanks for the help everyone!:)

thanks keri. i need some guidance big time. i am going to go to the nurses office after class tomorrow. my composite score is 119 however my school goes by percentiles and i have no idea what the heck to look at! i'll let you guys know how it goes. thanks again! :)

hi all. i got my nln scores today and have no idea how to read them! can anyone help me with this? what score(s) should i be looking at? thanks so much!!!

kathyz-i have a bs in marketing and was going to take the route you are but i just cannot afford yet another hefty loan! i have carney. she scares me!!!! good luck at loyola.

i'm scared!! had my first week. we started with the tissues etc. so hard!! i'm scared!!!

wow! that's great kathyz!! congrats to your friend! i'm quite confident i won't get it. that nln killed me! still waiting for the results! right now i'm taking the cna class at samlands, pharmacology, human anat i, and mat 102. i'm pretty scared. they all seem intense!! thanks for the news about your friend. helps spark the confidence, i have so little left! :chuckle good luck this semester! are you in the program? waiting to apply?

congrats lory. ann tips for any of us trying to get in or just trying to survive? :chuckle congrats again!

Good Luck! I just took the NLN today and bombed it. TIME is so important on this test! Study your roots, prefixes and suffixes too! VERY disappointed with how horrible I did. Best of luck to you. I"m sure you will do great!!

thanks dex. i will be a physical therapist aide. so helping the patients with their physical therapy and sometimes doing phones. should be interesting! i have my first clinical tomorrow for the cna class at samland's and i am dreading it!! i hope it goes well and doesn't totally turn me off to nursing. took the nln today-bombed it!! i'm never going to get into the program! i am a ball of negativity today! off to bed, early day tomorrow!! stick with the cushy job, getting paid while studing? great!!!! i wouldn't leave either!!:chuckle

my school requires it so i'm in the process right now. first clinical is tomorrow! i'm scared! :uhoh21: good luck!! like some said, i think it's a good idea. i'm just scared that it will lead me away from nursing. better to know now than later i guess!

i have no idea what my book is yet. the bookstore won't let me see it until next week! classes start 01/17/06 and if i could buy the book cheaper on-line in time for class i would like too. i wonder if that's why they wait so long to tell you?! scammers! :chuckle happy new year everyone! :smiley_aa let's enjoy the time off while we can!!
